This function creates a metadata template and exports it to the specified
file. The template is taken from metadata_example (see metadata_example
for documentation). The template .md file can act as a boilerplate metadata
statement that you can edit yourself.
The final edited file can be converted for use in a Darwin
Core Archive using build_metadata()
Usage
use_metadata(file, overwrite = FALSE)
Arguments
- file
(string) A filename to save the statement to. Defaults to
"metadata.md".
- overwrite
(logical) Should any existing file with this name be
overwritten? Defaults to FALSE.
Value
Does not return an object to the workspace; called for the
side-effect of saving a markdown file to the specified location.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Save template file metadata.md to local directory
use_metadata()
} # }
